The choice summed up the things for which Iran's thuggish theocracy is best known: sabre-rattling and controlling women.

These are also the two things that most enrage ordinary Iranians, who think that the money spent on rockets would be better used to shore up the country's crumbling economy.
這也是伊朗民眾最為憤怒的兩件事，他們認為花在火箭上的錢最好用來支撐該國逐漸衰敗的經濟。
In 2022 women and men took to the streets after Mahsa Amini, a student who was picked up by religious police for wearing an ill-fitting hijab, was beaten until she fell into a coma and died.
2022 年，學生瑪莎·阿米尼(Mahsa Amini)因頭巾佩戴不當被宗教警察抓走，遭到毆打直至昏迷身亡，婦女和男子紛紛走上街頭抗議。
The widespread protests in response to her brutal treatment came to be called the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement, a phrase that was chanted by protesters.
針對她的殘酷待遇而舉行的廣泛抗議活動被稱為“女性、生命、自由”革命，抗議者高呼這句口號。
(The Kurdish jin, jiyan, azadi was used by women in Turkey decades earlier.)
（庫爾德語的jin、jiyan、azadi是幾十年前土耳其婦女使用的。）
This is also the name of a new graphic novel, conceived by Marjane Satrapi, best known for "Persepolis" (2000), a memoir in graphic-novel form that illustrated the oppression of Iran's regime.
這也是瑪嘉·莎塔碧新構思的一部漫畫小說的名稱，她最著名的作品是《我在伊朗長大》（2000），這是一部以漫畫小說形式講述伊朗政權壓迫的回憶錄。
Nearly two dozen writers, academics and artists contributed; the 25 short chapters in the collection document the protests and the context around them.

The broader aim is to introduce outsiders to the human side of Iran and to change perceptions of the country and its people.

But the book is also designed to assure Iranians that "they are not alone"; a version in Persian has been put online and made available free.
但這本書的目的還在于讓伊朗人相信“他們并不孤單”。波斯語版本已上線并免費閱讀。
"Woman, Life, Freedom" offers an engrossing portrait of a population held back by restrictive leaders.

The illustration would be comical were it not so disheartening. The subject of women's treatment feels especially timely, given recent crackdowns by the morality police.
如果不是那么令人沮喪的話，這個插圖會很滑稽。鑒于最近道德警察的鎮壓，女性待遇的話題顯得尤為及時。

"But this regime will fail," replies Ms Satrapi. "Some things can't be held back." So she hopes.
“但這個政權將會失敗，”莎塔碧女士回答道。“有些事情是不能容忍的。”所以她希望如此。
